The electric fishes seem to me very curious. In general they are shy, sociable and peaceful. But if they meet a crowd they can use their electric tails to deliver low intensity electric shocks, which will be enough to make the other fishes understand "if you walk into my space you can be bothering, so be careful." I feel rather identified with them, they have become part of my favourite "bugs". It’s a shame that my big nose can not deliver discharges in the middle of a crowd, it would be quite useful in many cases.I've always loved animals which seem to be what they are not. These are also called big nose elephant fishes, from my point of view they are half bird, half hummingbird.The best exercises in school were when you had to draw half-and-half animals, and the imagination provoked extraordinary results as the Horsegaroo or the Liondrile.
